Georges Probable Yo,a

New York, Aug. 23-The socialists are
making big claims about the number OF
votes they will cast in November. Some
OF them claim as many az $4,000 or 40.
600. The more moderate men place the
figure at %, 1000. George Block claims
25,00O. He says that most of the mem
6ess OF trades unions are socialists. MIR.
Block says that the unions have taken
test votes OF their socialists friends. and
1t has been found that at least $4,000
OF the members favor the abolition
OF the wage system, which is the
principal thing the socialists de-
mand at present, and which was refused
Q place in the platform OF the Syracuse
convention. Here is Mr.. Blocks calcu-
lation of Georges probable vote this
fall: George relled $4,000 votes last
November; $4,000 OF these came from
the socialists and at least 5000 from
Irving hall. Subtract $4,000 fSom So
700, and you will have about the number
of votes the George ticket will get. If
George gets $4,000 more outside OF New
York city he will be doing better than I
expect" Nearly all the trades unions
belong to the American federation Of
labor, which, has recently sprung up az
Q rival of the knights of labor, and the
socialists will try to inducs tie fedora
ton to come ont squarely against
George and free trade.
